but we are getting closer to having things finished, so please don't give up on us.
(Two old guys, who are not really computer programmers, working in their spare time,
just can't go very fast.)

When was the last time you looked at the coins in your pocket? I mean really looked at them. Did you take note of the year? The mint? The design? Did you think about how they were made? Did you think about how much it cost to make them? Did you know that it now costs over 8 cents to make a nickel and get it into circulation? It costs over 2 cents to make and circulate a penny.
And so I ask, why do you collect coins? Is it because of the value of the material from which they are made? Is it because of the hope for riches because you find yourself in possession of a very rare coin? Is it because of the challenge of the game, of collecting ALL of them? Or, is it because of the stories they tell?
Each coin comes with a story. That story may center on whose image is on the coin. It may center on some interesting fact about its production. The story may center on when you found it, or traded for it, or purchased it. And each of those stories adds up to be a pretty neat book.
It doesn’t matter if it’s coins that you collect, or Barbie dolls, or PEZ dispensers, or Teddy Bears, or you name it. A collection is a collection of pretty special stories adding up to be a pretty neat book. Enjoy the stories. Enjoy the book. Enjoy collecting!
